John Allen's assessment:
Yet in the key Rust Belt states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, blue collar white Catholics gave President-elect Joseph Biden the edge he needed in tight races. Effectively, it was those Catholics who brought Trump down. Overall, the national estimate is that Biden captured around 52 percent of the Catholic vote and Trump roughly 47.
Debate will go on about how to explain that shift, but one interesting clue was provided by an unnamed senior adviser to the Trump campaign speaking to Politico just before Nov. 3.
“If he loses, it’s because people who otherwise support him are just sick of it all,” that adviser said. “It’s because of voters who kind of like Trump, but ‘just can’t take this anymore.’ It’s because voters will choose a calm Thanksgiving dinner with their Democratic and Republican relatives over another policy victory or Supreme Court justice.”
In other words, middle-of-the-road cultural Catholics chose comfort over babies. Also, the media won their hissy-fit, because they harped and harped on every sound wave until they got their way, simply because people were sick of hearing about it. Also, how long will we have to suffer liberal Boomer clout?
"You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you?"-Mt 17:17
It's a poverty to decide that children must die so that you can eat Thanksgiving dinner in peace. Isn't this precisely how demons have always behaved as they are being cast out? So is that a hopeful sign that prayer is working, or further evidence of our demise?
...or both?
